Dear Candy, I absolutely agree with you! So this is the first aria you heard her in? I heard her first in Azucena's aria, and I was really impressed by her voice, dark, irresistible mezzo (even contralto), but even more when I saw her video as Dalila (Mon coeur and Printemps). That was when I literally fell in love with everything about her, her singing and acting!
I advise you to check her Carmen, Dalila, Eboli, Amneris (from 1966 MET Aida with Corelli and Price). There are even video clips of her uploaded by Stephan Pone, her husband (Stephanpoen).
Elena Cernei a fost o femeie superba si cu un talent iesit din comun , un înger .
What a splendind interpretation of this aria - such a voluptous sound - quite spectacular.
@corellithebest and my first experience was Dalila .... and what an experience ...
Wow!!! Everything about Elena Cernei's interpretation of this air is WOW!
